I’ve seen the underlying Intelligence documents behind the #NunesMemo, and it is a distortion of the facts. Anyone can selectively pick documents out of a huge storyline and cook up a case. That doesn’t make it true.

As a member of Congress, getting appointed to an Intelligence Committee is a very sobering proposition. You hear things that you have to keep secret, that you can’t share with anyone, because you know if you do reveal classified information, people can die.

There are processes in our government that allow for declassification in a reasonable, rational way that protects the sources and methods of our intelligence community. This political charade with the
#NunesMemo isn’t it.Show this thread -
FISA warrants and other classified intelligence materials aren’t toys for members of Congress to use in partisan games. They’re important tools that the dedicated men and women of the Intelligence community use to keep us safe and literally save American lives.

Even Trump-appointed officials at the FBI have voiced “grave concerns” about its accuracy, and his appointees at the DOJ have warned that releasing the memo would be “extraordinarily reckless.”

It’s not hard to figure out the purpose of this political shell game, but it is remarkable the lengths to which some will go to shield the President from this investigation. http://www.cnn.com/2018/02/01/politics/nunes-memo-donald-trump/index.html …

None of this is normal. We are watching a coordinated effort to undermine the Russia investigation, our nation’s law enforcement agencies, and Special Counsel Mueller play out in front of our eyes.

Elected leaders, particularly those entrusted with our nation’s secrets, must live up to the trust placed in them by their colleagues and the American people. Starting right now. History is watching.

There needs to be an investigation into Nunes. Either the Ethics Committee or Oversight Committee needs to step up. Although this is difficult bc R’s control the majority, the pressure must be applied! This is a Constitutional crisis!

We know. GOP is running rabid breaking every norm that was put in place to protect us. Short of taking to the streets, storming Capital Hill and overthrowing the government, what are we to do?

Yet, it's being allowed to continue!I
@realDonaldTrump and his GOP accomplices have been undermining our government & our rule of law since his election! And, it seems, there is no law REQUIRING us to hit the emergency brake on their destruction! This a#ConstitutionalCrisis! -
No they haven’t. Duly elected & following the Constitution. Hmmm, doesn’t sound anything at all like “undermining.” You might want to look that word up. Do U know what DOES sound like undermining? Domestic espionage, faux docs, illegal warrants & crony politics. Yep those qualify
